Don't think I've seen many bikes quite as ugly as that....

Was it designed by the same blind guy that did the Fiat multipla?

Given that it looks nothing like it , I’d say probably not.
The Multipla was a genius design though .

Those front crash bars look disigned to bend into the fairing. No need to be that tall.
Definitely fell from the ugly tree.

They do both have the look of something David Attenborough could be narrating on from a deep sea camera.

That GT 750 front end looks likes an RT1250

Oh dear

Yes, they both have a nose that's a bit out of proportion . Different I suppose.

It may well appeal to the not so vain bikers on mainland Europe who don’t PCP up to the eyeballs to fit in to some ‘special’ group

Don't think vanity comes into it...it just looks really shit.

I think that the Mash badge may have a fair bit to do with how much people like it or not.

Exactly

I believe these are designed by the French and built in, cough cough China.

Seems strange that France doesn't have much of a moto industry given how popular bikes are / have been there.

A shame really as they would probably have come up with something quite unique.

It’s basically a Chinese police bike , based on the knock off Kawasaki 650 twin motor

You’re contradicting yourself .

Unique, not ugly. The French might not be known for the best build quality but can show design flair wouldn't you agree?

So not really a French design.

So putting this particular bike aside for a slight tangent.

Why don't the French have a motorcycle brand or two of their own.

I am not really into old bikes but assume way back they made something?

I'll start a different thread and leave this one to the bike in the original post

You said you believed they were designed by the French, then said it was a shame (that they didn’t design it ) as they would probably have come up with something quite unique .
Doesn't make sense .
